How to record your mixes in AWESOME quality!!

[Mothman354]

Stop trying to do this everybody this dude doesnt know what hes talkin about.

[FORGOTFGT]

@Mothman354 Worked for an entire year i think you'll find before upgrading to another sound card in my PC. Its a generic way of doing it meaning it may or may not work with certain sound interfaces, i do know what im talking about for i wouldnt make a video otherwise.

[billytherockfan]

Would this work with a dj as well

[SteezyExpress]

that so ironic...your video is shit quality but ur talking bout amazing sound quality haha

[ElDJBarr]

Im not sure if i am doing this right I coming out of my mixer into the computer microphone jack i go into audacity but the sound is awful im not sure what is worng you can hear it but it sounds really bad .... Im not sure if the fact that i am using my own computer mix and record ... what do u think i should do?

[FORGOTFGT]

@ElDJBarr it may be distorting and to fix this you need to turn the record volume down on the computer otherwise i might be the soundcard and you may have to try another

[hardstyleaddictedNL]

@ElDJBarr if you turn the volume down and it still sounds distorted,...try to change the sample rate in the preference section.

[bbbomberjk]

@ElDJBarr ive got the same problem :( any luck ?

[servenx3]

i did that n it sounds all fuked up

[FORGOTFGT]

@servenx3 try using another soundcard

[sxdemon]

[Dubified]

@Dubified lol

[spikeyalan]

thanks friend this helped me

[FORGOTFGT]

@spikeyalan Glad it helps and thanks for the comment :D

[DJSillzor]

the only input/output whatever i can record from is the mic, apparently it gives horrible quality, any other suggestions?

[FORGOTFGT]

@DJSillzor have you actually tried it though because sometimes it can work through the mic plug pretty well...

So give it a try and if not good then i can only suggest buying another soundcard external or internal.

[DJSillzor]

i haven't tried dude but since i made this comment i watched another video and he pointed out the problem that causes bad quality so it's all good.

thanks for the help man, it is a good video.

[FORGOTFGT]

@DJSillzor Glad it helped and thanks for the comment :D

[MrBarezoots]

my laptop dosent have a line input can i use a rca to usb cable instead ?

[FORGOTFGT]

@MrBarezoots if its a audio interface you are talking about then yes it should work as long as you have power going to you laptop because they can be quite a strain on the battery.

[InphaseWarrior]

@MrBarezoots yes you can,or instead of line-in,it might work if you plug the other end into the microphone jack.if that doesnt work,try the headphone jack.

dude.. we still don't know how to record..

what prog. should i use?..

omfg

[FORGOTFGT]

i use a free program called audacity type it into google and you will find it !!!!!

THX for your comment and plz comment nicly!!!!

[karimmaged90]

maaan audacity gets out a horrible sound quality i cant fix it :(

[FORGOTFGT]

i think that it maybe a setting you havent changed or is simple a dodgy soundcard you are recording with. Aswell make sure that all the wires are well shielded because if not they can cause issues.

i am sorry but this is the only real infomation i can give you over youtube.

to actually know whats wrong i would have to see in person which i am not in the position to do.

all i know is that with all those things in check i can get absolutly GREAT sounding audio through it.

[NoyseandRas]

Can i do this with the stanton smx 201(it has only one master out) and an amplifer?

[FORGOTFGT]

Yes you can do it like this but then i dont know how you would link up your amp for other speakers.

the only way i can see is if you get whats called RCA Splitters or mix completely through headphones but then the splittlers should work fine

THX for your comment

DJ SGS

[NoyseandRas]

So if i connect two rca splitters to my master out and i connect one of them at the speakers and one of them to my computer,it should work fine?(sorry for my bad english)

[FORGOTFGT]

Thats EXACTLY what i mean lol

Glad i could help

that will work fine

DJ SGS

[NoyseandRas]

Thank you very much!

[FORGOTFGT]

No problem :)

[250lespaul]

i know there is a difference between Line in and Mic

there is a huge reduction in buzz with the line in

but lap tops only have a mic

is there anyway to get it as close to line in quality as possible?

[FORGOTFGT]

Well my laptop does have line in but then is very old lol

Othwise i am not really sure on how you could change the sensitivity but i do know on some "Dell" laptops in the audio option the is a switcher where you can have the input as either mic or line in.

Hope this helped.

THX for your comment

[malmodude]

I don have a Line-in input on my laptop, can I use MIC input instead?

[FORGOTFGT]

yes the Mic input should work

[karloskamargo]

what software do u use to record?

[FORGOTFGT]

i use a free program called audacity

THX for your comment

[eiffeduden]

Nice ;) but try to get better video quality next time ;p

[FORGOTFGT]

i will try thx for your comment

[dudelololoop]

Thankz that helped me a lot to think about doing that. Now i can record my music.

[FORGOTFGT]

no problem glad the vid helped :)

[brianwurst1234]

i dont have a line in and i used the mic in and it sounds awful. im using audacity.

[FORGOTFGT]

if its onboard sound it might be that or you might have your mixers output too loud or the mic level too high.

Hope this helps!

Thx for the comment :)

[pjwall41]

You've been really helpful thanx

[FORGOTFGT]

Np! THX

[xxtomxdelongexx]

Yes, I have some questions...One: How much is that chord taht plugs into the computer/mixer, and where can I get one?

and two: (dumb question) if the mixer is plugges into the laptop...would u still need seperate speakers? Or would the sound come out of the Laptops speakers? Thanx

[FORGOTFGT]

the cable you can get from any dj or music shop for about £5 all it is is a 3.5mm jack to stereo RCA.

and you can either have seperate speakers OR use the laptop speakers but i would recomend seperate speakers for better audio quality for you to hear because most laptop speakers arent that good so either buy seperate speakers and plug them in to your mixer or laptop.
